Hello Stranger

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for providing me with a copy of Hello Stranger for review.

When portrait artist Sadie Montgomery has urgent brain surgery to treat a genetic condition that killed her mother, she loses the ability to see faces—just as she needs to paint a portrait for her ‘big break' competition and falls in love with two different guys.

I am a big fan of Katherine Center, and Hello Stranger didn't fail to deliver her trademark: a spirited protagonist facing a unique mix of personal growth, challenges with family, and romance. And goodness. Just feel-good goodness oozing off the pages as Sadie navigates her challenging relationships and rises above.

Maybe the premise of Hello Stranger was a bit-far fetched for me? Maybe the beginning was draggy? Maybe I had a hard time connecting to Sadie? Perhaps the narrative could've been more cohesive? Maybe I saw the twist coming a mile away? Perhaps. Maybe you'll feel the same. But I say if you've enjoyed any of Katherine Center's other books keep reading because I immensely enjoyed this book. Worth reading. Hands down. No question.
